I believe eigen(), svd() and qr() can all do it.

Dear R-devel, Has anyone played with this? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html <http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/DevelopWithAMD/0,,30_2252_2282,00.html> .

Hi all, I am trying to play around with the randomForest function for classification. I know its performance is great. I am currently using the default options. It has many options. How do I further tweak the options so that I can make its performance even better? What are the options that are mostly used? Thanks a lot! M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I try to use ?randomForest to find variables that are the most important to divide my dataset (continuous, categorical variables) in two given groups. But when I plot the outliers: plot(outlier(FemMalSex_NAavoid88.rf33, cls=FemMalSex_NAavoid88$Sex), type="h",col=c("red","green")[as.numeric(FemMalSex_NAavoid88$Sex)]) it seems to me that all my values appear as

Hello I would like to see the algorithm that R uses to generate density functions for several distributions (i.e. Normal,Weibull, etc). I tried: >dnorm function (x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE) .Internal(dnorm(x, mean, sd, log)) <environment: namespace:stats> How can I see the code used for densities? Thanks!

R 1.7.1 on Windows XP The "normal Q-Q plot" produced by plot.lm() mislabels points when the model is fitted using na.action=na.exclude. Example: x <- 1:50 y <- x + rnorm(50) y[c(5,10,15)] <- NA # insert some NA's y[40] <- 50 # add an outlier plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.omit)) # outlier correctly labeled in all # four plots

Dear R-help, I was bitten by the behavior of all() when given logical(0): It is TRUE! (And any(logical(0)) is FALSE.) Wouldn't it be better to return logical(0) in both cases? The problem surfaced because some un-named individual called randomForest(x, y, xtest, ytest,...), and gave y as a two-level factor, but ytest as just numeric vector. I thought I check for that in my code by testing

Hi all, I am using the "svm" command in the e1071 package. Does it have an automatic way of setting the "cost" parameter? I changed a few values for the "cost" parameter but I hope there is a systematic way of obtaining the best "cost" value. I noticed that there is a "cross" (Cross validation) parameter in the "svm" function. But I

See if the following helps: > m <- outer(letters[1:5], 1:4, paste, sep="") > m [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] "a1" "a2" "a3" "a4" [2,] "b1" "b2" "b3" "b4" [3,] "c1" "c2" "c3" "c4" [4,] "d1" "d2" "d3" "d4" [5,]

Is this an interface bug? Using RGUI for windows I run into a "Not Responding" process (I "smartly" coded an infinite loop, yaiks!), I hit esc and the interpreter was stopped and I recovered the console functionality but the caption on the R icon in my windows taskbar (the individual icon shown for every software currently running in the session) was not updated so the

Hi, I am trying to run randomForests on a datasets of size 500000X650 and R pops up memory allocation error. Are there any better ways to deal with large datasets in R, for example, Splus had something like bigData library. Thank you, Nagu

Hi All, While attempting to build R-patched using the Portland Group compiler suite on our dual Opteron 250 box running Scyld 29cz5 (based on RH, kernel 2.4.29), I get: make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/andy/Rbuild/R221-pgi/src/library/tools/src' make[5]: Entering directory `/home/andy/Rbuild/R221-pgi/src/library/tools/src' pgcc -I../../../../include -I/include -I/include/CC -fpic

Hello All: Has anyone configured a meetme conference to use video? I have successfully used video phones to talk through *, but I cannot seem to get video when those phones dial into a meetme conference. Is there something else that I need to be doing other than set the "v" flag on my extension for the meetme app? Thanks, Tim

Dear R-help, This one is probably a piece of cake for regexp masters. I'd like to split a character vector (for simplicity, say of length one for now) that contains fields that are delimited by arbitrary number of white spaces (e.g., " a b c "). How do I get the character vector that contain the fields? In the example I gave, I've tried: > strsplit(" a b c
